The sports world in 60 seconds

Bob Estes was 140 yards from the hole, standing over a pink ball and wearing a sombrero. His wife and three other women wearing short white skirts and knee-high Argyle socks were jumping nearby and yelling, "Hole it, hole it, hole it!" He did not hole it. Not even close, actually, although that hardly mattered.

Miller takes break, mulls retirement

Bode Miller says he won't ski again this season but has yet to decide on retirement. The defending overall World Cup champion said in his online diary that other things now give him more pleasure than the ski tour.

The New Hampshire skier has not won a race this season and already sat out the last two weekends. He was visiting his 1-year-old daughter in San Diego and resting his ankle. He injured it in a crash in December.

This season, Miller finished second three times and failed to medal at the world championships in France last month.

Attorney: Castroneves planned to pay

Race car driver and "Dancing with the Stars" winner Helio Castroneves never sought to evade U.S. income taxes and planned to pay the Internal Revenue Service when he received $5 million from a deal made a decade ago, his attorney told a federal jury.

Defense attorney Roy Black said in an opening statement that the Brazilian, a two-time winner of the Indianapolis 500, knows nothing about U.S. tax laws and relied on experts to handle his finances. Black said there was no scheme to hide money from the IRS.

Castroneves, his business manager-sister, Katiucia, and Michigan sports attorney Alan Miller are charged in a seven-count indictment with tax evasion and conspiracy.
